A (small) finish: Petite Odile table runner

Recently I got the chance to work with some of the upcoming French General collection, Petite Odile. I'm doing a home decorating tutorial for the bake shop and these were my leftovers. It's not normally the colors I sew with, but I loved sewing with it and have loved living with it. My decorating style is "cocoon" (not the movie about old people, just coziness and warm colors).

I don't know why but the quilt fabric I go for is usually much more child-like and quaint. This looks so great in my house. I love the little details of children, buttons, redwork, and letters on the fabric...all things that speak to me.

That binding fabric is to die for. I want to wallpaper my house in it. For now I have to settle for curtains and a table runner!
